No chance of retrieving MP Azim's body: DB Harun

There is no chance of retrieving Jhenaidah-4 Constituency Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim Anar's body, Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Detective Branch (DB) chief Mohammad Harun Or Rashid has said. However, parts of his body may be recovered, he added. 

DB Harun made the remarks while speaking to journalists at the DB office on Minto Road in the capital at around 3pm on Thursday.

He also said the murderers tried to erase every trace of the body. They separated bone from flesh and carried them out in separate trolly bags. To avoid detection, they also added spices to the flesh to disguise it as "edible meat."

Anwarul Azim Anar allegedly went to Kolkata for medical treatment on May 12. His family informed police when they lost contact with him on May 14. A search operation was launched to trace the three-time Awami League MP.

On Wednesday, India's police said he was murdered in a flat in Sanjiva Garden of the New Town area in Kolkata. 

Kolkata CID later arrested a Bangladeshi man named Siam, who was occupying the flat in Sanjiva Garden on 13 May. Investigators also arrested a cab driver named Juber. The rental car which was used to carry away the body parts was seized on Thursday morning.
